Currently blizzard warnings in effect and 1-3” of snow forecasted for today with additional snow in the forecast for Thursday and Saturday.    Single digits at night and high teens/low 20’s during the day throughout the next few days with sub-zero temperatures coming in on by the end of the weekend and through the beginning of next week.   Get ready for some cold weather. 

Hats off to our Marenisco crews as they’ve been pitching in big time to help out with the Gogebic Area Trails.  The cold weather is really helping get things and both trails were left smooth and solid before the snow predicted for this week and weekend!

Lot of traffic over the past weekend – don’t expect much different for next weekend.

·         Trail 1 and Trail 8:   Marenisco area crews out tonight grooming Trail 1 north from Marenisco to Trail 8.    

·         1s, to Marenisco and 8w to Wakefield were groomed

·         Trail 8e to Ewen was groomed and is improving but still a heavily traveled trail and get’s bad by afternoon.

·         13n was attempted, long story short, machine spun out on the hills and had to turn around.

·         102 was also covered, but without a drag. Main purpose was to knock down moguls and flatten berms.

·         Trail 8 West:  has been groomed and reported in good condition.

·         Trail 100 has been completely closed due to logging.  We have placed signs posting its closure and the entrance is bermed on Trail 1.  At this point there is no open trail connecting Trail 1 to the south end of Lake Gogebic.

This Saturday is International Snowmobile Day – so stop out at the Bergland Township Pavilion at 11 a.m. for live music, food and fun!
